Ever since Bruton Smith made his remarks last week about how NASCAR should implement mandatory cautions, I’ve been thinking: Wonder what ol’ Tony Stewart thinks about that idea?
Sarcastic Or Not Sarcastic? Tony Stewart Comments On Bruton Smith Idea
Stewart, of course, is the one who sarcastically suggested Talladega should run Figure Eight races to spice things up. I thought he’d pan Smith’s idea, to be honest.
So when he had the following response to the concept on Thursday, I was confused:
“I think the more that you interrupt and disrupt the race, I don’t know... I don’t know that I necessarily agree with that. Bruton has been a pretty successful promoter for a long time, so more times than not he’s going to be right.”
Wait a minute: Was Stewart being serious that Smith might be right? Or was he pulling the whole dry (and undetectable) sarcasm routine again?
I was so puzzled that I asked one of Stewart’s public relations representatives to clarify. After getting further explanation from Stewart, the rep told me his driver was indeed being serious: He does believe Smith is a great promoter and is usually right.
So there you have it.
